Every Step of the Journey Matters
Meaningful change often begins with a classroom exchange, a continuing relationship, or people coming together around a shared goal.
Taiwan Mother Hen Society works alongside schools, communities, and local partners in Nepal to support learning and community well-being. We document what has been carried out and reflect on where sustained collaboration can make a difference.

Learning Together: The 2026 Nepal International Volunteer Program
Learning across languages begins with getting to know one another.
In August 2026, a 12-member international volunteer team from National Chengchi University traveled to Nepal to work with local schools on educational and cultural activities.
The team served at Falong School on August 1–2 and at Balkanyan School from August 4–12. Working in two different school environments gave the volunteers an opportunity to adapt their teaching to local classroom settings and students' needs.
Learning Beyond Textbooks
The program included mathematics lessons, art and card-making activities, university subject-sharing sessions, and sports.
Firsthand volunteer accounts describe how teachers, students, and volunteers navigated language differences through translation, demonstrations, questions, and hands-on activities. Students contributed their own ideas and creative work, making learning a shared experience.
On August 7, the group also visited the International Mountain Museum, giving students an opportunity to explore geography and the natural world beyond the classroom.
Working Alongside Local Schools
Local teachers and school administrators played an important role in making the program possible. At Balkanyan School, the school supported the volunteers in planning and delivering their activities.
According to the Society's official meeting record dated August 16, 2026, the program recorded 210 service attendances at Falong School and 683 at Balkanyan School. These are service counts, not the number of unique students reached.
Relationships That Continue
A short volunteer program cannot address every educational challenge. It can, however, contribute to longer-term cooperation between volunteers, schools, and communities.
The experience created opportunities to exchange knowledge and learn from one another. Taiwan Mother Hen Society will continue working with local partners to explore meaningful ways to support education over time.
Health and Education Together: Go Kapilvastu 2025
Connecting community health and education through collaboration.
From November 22 to 26, 2025, Go Kapilvastu brought a five-day community health and education initiative to the Chandrauta area of Shivraj Municipality, Nepal.
The program brought together local communities, teachers, social workers, healthcare professionals, and volunteers from different backgrounds. Activities included health screenings, health education, medical training, and school-based events.
Supporting Community Health
The team worked with local healthcare and community partners to understand available resources and support health screening activities in different settings.
The official project report records 85 screenings at Chanai–Madrasah and 52 student screenings at Dharmnagar School. These figures represent documented screening counts rather than a verified number of unique individuals.
The initiative also included healthy living education, practical medical training, and the distribution of relevant support materials.
Bringing Health Education into Schools
At Dharmnagar School, volunteers and healthcare professionals worked with teachers on student health education and related activities.
The program concluded with a school festival on November 26, featuring cultural exchanges, games, and shared activities involving students, teachers, and volunteers.
Built on Local Cooperation
The official project report emphasizes the contributions of local community members, volunteers, teachers, social workers, doctors, nurses, and other participants.
For Taiwan Mother Hen Society, meaningful international cooperation begins with understanding local needs and working alongside the people and organizations already serving their communities.
This story documents a completed collaborative initiative. It does not claim that a short-term program resolved every health or educational challenge in the area.
